In the US, the pay structure for food service staff is written *assuming* income from tips. They can get as low as $2.13 per hour as base pay in 15 states, and under $4 per hour in 11 more: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped

So if you're in the US and not eating at a restaurant in a state with a higher service staff minimum wage, I think it's rude not to tip.

You have every right to be angry that the price on the menu is not the price you're morally obliged to pay for the meal. But the person who should suffer your displeasure for dishonest pricing is not the one in food service.
